Hi all,

I am new to the DHS data and I am experiencing a problem which I am not sure how to address.

I have downloaded all the Stata files (for individuals, households, women, etc.) for Sierra Leone (Standard DHS, 2013), where each zip file contains: DCT, DO, DTA, FRQ, FRW and MAP files.

When I run the do-file, it asks for a DAT file (dictionary) file that is not included in the folders, do I have to download it separatelly? Or is the rest of the do-file (which includes lables for variables and values) replacing that DAT file?

Sorry if this is a very basic question and thanks in advance for the advice,

Best,

Luz
